Create your photography story

I want to try something different. A sort of mad-lib-esq photography fun. Below is a photograph I captured in Freehold, NJ. View the photo and then comment below and start creating a story. The next person to comment should continue the story. I think it will be interesting to see where it goes. Thanks for [...]

It’s not a flower 14/52

It's not a flower

This morning I was on a mission (sent by Luana) to photograph Cakepops.  I had the same mission a couple weeks ago, but this time, the Cakepops were even more creative.  Luana brought over her Cakepops in the shape of flowers, animals and some various others.  This is one of my favorite photographs from the [...]

Circle in a square

Nikon 24mm, ISO 200, f/8, 1/30

The train was leaving the station when imagined this exact shot.  Movement, a circular window and square framing.  I knew I wanted the outside to be exposed even if the inside was really dark.  I had just enough time to frame the shot and do a quick exposure hoping it was on point.  I nailed [...]

JC in Yellow 9/52

JC in Yellow

Yesterday I had a photo shoot with a women’s clothing line.  I have photographed their clothing before but, I never really liked all the clothing.  A lot of it has always been nice but now majority of it is nice.  I can’t share all the photos from the shoot because some of the clothing is [...]

She Is Sew Crafty 8/52

Nikon D700, f/3.5, Tilt Shift, 1/30, ISO 800

Melissa and I spent the afternoon and night hanging out with my brother and (crafty) sister-in-law.  While my brother built half of their basement into his beer loving/brewing man cave, the other half is Lori’s crafty room.  Lori is helping Melissa and I create some fun things for our wedding this July.  I can’t post [...]

Stop at the XX 7/52

NIkon D700, ISO 200, f/3.5, 1/30

Melissa and I spent the day in New York City so I could design and order my wedding ring. I’m happy with my choice and can’t wait to see it when done.  While walking around the city I had a great idea for a blog post (not this one).  So throughout the day I photographed [...]

There she is, Miss America 6/52

Nikon D700, 110mm, f/2.8, 1/60, ISO 200

As you might have read from last week’s Project 52 photo, I was hired to photograph a Miss America event here in New Jersey.  Teresa (Miss America) was at a new furniture store signing autographs and meeting with fans and pageant girls. Before the meet, sign and greet Teresa had to film a quick commercial. [...]

Getting Ready 5/52

Nikon D700, 35mm, f/1.4, ISO 200, 1/20

I was offered a great photo gig on February 12th to photograph an event with Miss America.  I started organizing my gear for the event, charging necessary batteries, etc… I will be using two Nikon D700 bodies.  One with the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 and the other with the Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 lens.  Both bodies will [...]

Spinning in the snow 3/52

Nikon D700, 24mm, Tilt Shift, ISO 200, f/3.5, 7 Exposures

This winter has had some crazy weather.  Two feet of snow, followed by one foot of snow, followed by two inches of ice, then another four inches of snow.  Now they’re saying we’re supposed to have another big snowstorm on Tuesday.  How can the kids go play in the playground when it’s full of snow? [...]

The Josh Effect 2/52

Nikon D700, ISO 200, 50mm, f/4.5, 1/200, Orbis Ring Flash w/ SB800

Today I was shooting headshots and some “around the town” portraits of Josh, an aspiring actor in New Jersey.  Josh is a cool guy who is a blast to photograph.  He can be fun, but also knows when it’s time to be serious and get down to the shooting.  I used PocketWizards and shot using [...]

Real Time Marketing 1/52

Nikon D700, 24mm, Tilt Shift, f/3.5, ISO 200, 1/50

2011 is a big year for me between some big projects in the works, hopefully my last year of “back to school” and my new job. This year I plan on really digging deep into new media and social marketing.  For my Project 52 I plan on taking things to a new level of awesome. [...]
